Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river
Hold back
Once upon a different life
We wrote our byes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river
Hold back
Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river
Hold back
Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river
Hold back
Hold back the river
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river
Hold back
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other
